Good ol’ biplane

Today I got the chance to visit the Florida Air Museum in Lakeland, Florida. They had many aircraft on display in such a small building they had. Cramming everything they could into it. They had many racer aircraft from the 20th century and other ages on display. Thats not what I came for though...

If you know me, my favorite aeroplanes are biplanes. Not just any biplane though, old biplanes. WW1 and before

The Laird Baby Biplane

Thats the only replica on display. It isn’t anything special. The original was made sometime between 1912 and 1913. It is a homemade aircraft, meaning its made in Matty Laird’s garage :P
There was only one built and there is only that replica. Now, will I build it in SP? I’m thinking about it. Once I get back from this trip I’ll see. It will also be good for a paneling project. I still need to work on paneling for planes in SP. It would be good to get back to biplanes and especially this one.
Leave your thoughts below, I’d like to see what you have to say!

    Wait hold up: there’s an air museum in Lakeland? I’ve been living 1 hour away from an air museum for my ENTIRE LIFE and never knew?

    Make sure to capture wing chamber. It should be easy on a straight wing like this.
